Rare Yutaka Sasaki Pastel Painting

Size:
27 x 22 cm
Frame: 32 x 27 cm

This is a pastel work by Yutaka Sasaki, an artist who supported post-war Japanese Western-style painting.
The work Futari (Two People) is characterized by its semi-abstract forms with a symmetrical structure, symbolically expressing the relationship between two people and the aura of existence rather than directly depicting figures.

The texture, created through repeated layering and scraping, strongly reflects the introspection characteristic of Japanese painting in the 1950s and 1960s, conveying the atmosphere of the transitional period from post-war figurative to abstract art.

The artist's handwritten title Futari and signature are confirmed on the back, indicating this is an original work from its creation period.
While this artist's works are not frequently available on the market, this piece is recommended for collectors of contemporary post-war Western-style paintings or those seeking a work with a quiet presence.
